    Migrated a few decades worth of albums, movies, etc to this device and worked quite efficiently. Drive is sleek, not overly large or loud!

    Very happy with me new WD Easy store 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. I use Carbonite on my Win10 BEAST of a Desktop PC, to automatically backup data to the cloud for offsite storage. I also use automated software to backup (nightly incremental) my internal drives to this new drive daily to have a physical backup at in case internal drives fail. I am a power user, Adobe CS, Adobe Premier, DLSR photographer, database developer and collector of games and software. 14TB is not as big as it used to be! +Good price per TB. +Easy to setup, was already formatted for Windows. +Came with a power supply and USB 3.0 cable.

    Ive had this same brand for well over 12 yrs. Loved it. (AKA BIG UGLY)Never had any problems out of it. Was time for an upgrade. Love this one. Its a little smaller. But why change products when you have a good thing!

    I bought 8 of these over the past few weeks. Shucked them and put them in my Synology 1812+ replacing the 4TB RED drives in a Raid-6 array. Replaced one drive at a time. Took 30 hours per drive to rebuild the array then another 30 hours at the end to expand the volume. Well worth the time and effort. These drives are absolutely silent in this NAS and I have no complaints.

    Bought this back when it was $190, and I'm glad I did. Paying $13.50 per TB is an amazing value and it has been in use almost every day with no big issues. Only complaint is that the enclosure feels a little hot sometimes after prolonged use.

    Very good product for me. I have a lot of older music that I have collected over the years and this hard drive gives me the ability to save it in one spot. Lots of capacity which is important as my digital music is captured at the highest possible bit rates.

    This is the first external HDD that I've bought that can maintain 180-190 MBs transfer rate over usb 3.0, My first use is to backup a 4TB HDD on my desktop using imaging software; after that I'll use it to backup a 4TB NAS. Copious space for the money.

    My 2TB computer only had 300GBs left so I bought the 14TB external hard drive and transferred all my photography to the external hard drive. My computer runs a lot faster now and I have a new home for all my photography!

    Lol 14TB's, this thing is going to last a while. You can take the case out of the hard drive and use it in a NAS set up as well. I am using it in my desktop computer to archive and store photos from my iPhone. Going to last a while since it's 14TB's....
